How to adjust the vcore voltage on a Gigabyte MB device?
I purchased a Gigabyte z270x Ultra Gaming motherboard with an i7 7700k processor and 16 GB 2400 bus RAM last week. While playing Battlefield 1 and Overwatch, I observed the temperature rising above 90 degrees at times, often staying near 75. From the link provided, I understand the issue is related to Gigabyte MB injecting extra voltage when it hits a stress limit. I need advice on adjusting the vcore voltage in my motherboard. I'm using Cooler Master Saedon 120V plus.
Updated the factory BIOS firmwire to F5 (previously F3) and the issue appears resolved. The default vcore temperature is now 1.265, compared to 1.30 earlier, with a stable maximum of 85–90 degrees during the full stress test, mostly staying near 77–80 degrees. Everything seems normal now.
Are you using BIOS or the software? If via BIOS, proceed to Advanced Voltage Setting and VCore Voltage should be your first choice.

You might achieve around 4.8Ghz and be satisfied. Your cooling solution isn't ideal for high overclocking, so keep it at about 1.35V or lower. The lower the better.
